Idaho Stampede News Release
BOISE, Idaho, November 29, 2012 - Durrell Summers led the Stampede with 24 points as each starter scored 15 or more points, but Idaho fell to the Bakersfield Jam (2-1) 125-119 in the second game of a back-to-back to begin the season on the road (0-2).
Justin Harper (10 rebounds) and Coby Karl (seven assists) each had 20 points - each of Karl's scored in the final quarter - while Justin Holiday added 15 points, nine rebounds, three steals and two blocks. Sean Evans contributed 17 points and six rebounds.
Bakersfield was led by seven players reaching double-figures in scoring, with Renaldo Major notching 24 points on 10-of-13 shooting. Damion James totaled 18 points, seven rebounds and four blocks while Jerel McNeal added 17 points and eight assists. Brian Butch tallied 11 points, 12 rebounds, seven assists and four blocks.
Idaho showed improved shooting from last night's game in Los Angeles, making 47.4 of their field goals and 8-of-20 three-pointers, but had 25 turnovers and allowed Bakersfield to shoot over 52 percent and reach the foul line for 41 tries, although the Jam made just 26 (63.4 percent). Both teams hammered the offensive glass in the fourth quarter, especially the Jam, as they rebounded nine of their 11 missed field goals to help stave off the Stampede.
